Joke of the day from Moscow: Russia tried to unveil its first humanoid AI robot, Aidol. Key word: tried. The robot collapsed during its debut, forcing organizers to cut the presentation short. Their rushed attempt to lift the prop only made things worse.

Y'all, I know two hours is a big time commitment, but this panel I arranged and hosted last month is one of the most important things I've ever done for video game history. The launch of the NES is a crazier story than most people realize, and my guests were extremely generous with their memories.

the Bajoran version of the Bechdel test is “do two named women talk to each other about something other than murder” and I love “Deep Space Nine” because it fails almost every episode

Until this week, it's been impossible to play the games of the 1993 Pioneer LaserActive without one of the vanishingly rare, disintegrating consoles.

Here's the story of the guy who's been trying to fix that for years -- and all the hardware and software he had to build to make it possible.
"This is the first:" The 16 year odyssey of "time, money, wrong turns and frustration" it took to finally emulate the Pioneer LaserActive
In April 2009, a Sega fan decided to look into emulating the Mega LD, a quirky and little-known hybrid of Genesis and LaserDisc. This week he finished the job.

I really wish people would stop using LLMs “as a goof” or “ironically.” Yes we know computer do silly things. Can we please not consume a gallon of fresh water and a household family’s worth of electricity for something that stopped being a novelty in 2022

Apple is delisting Wheels of Aureila from the App Store for no reason. Why? Because as a company, they do not respect video games. They're simply a tool.

every time i see someone on social media wistfully approve of some event from the french revolution that seems romantic and cool but actually resulted in a lot of horrifying public murders and then the rise of EMPEROR NAPOLEON i get a slight case of hives.
